BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention is related to a panel wiper including a wipingmember having a cleaning plate. The cleaning plate has at least oneacute wiping corner for extending into the respective corners of thepanel to reciprocally wipe and clean up the panel.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Various types of liquid crystal displays and plasma displays have beendeveloped to replace the early cathode-ray tubes. After a period of use,the panel of the display tends to be contaminated with dusts. Under suchcircumstance, the image will become fogged. In order to overcome thisproblem, a type of panel wiper has been developed for wiping the panelof the liquid crystal display or plasma display as shown in FIG. 5. Thepanel wiper 90 has a handle 91 and a transverse board 92 connected witha front end of the handle 91. A fabric-made cleaning member 93 is fixedon a front side of the transverse board 92. A user can reciprocally wipea panel 30 with such wiper 90 to clean off the dusts.

However, the fabric-made cleaning member 93 has arced corners which canhardly reach the innermost corners 31 of the panel 30. Therefore, it isquite hard to use such wiper to fully clean off the dusts accumulatingin the corners 31 of the panel 30.

Moreover, when wiping the panel, generally a cleaning liquid is sprayedonto the panel 30. Therefore, the cleaning member 93 of the wiper 90will be wetted after wiping the panel 30. The conventional wiper 90lacks any specific rest or storage unit. Therefore, it is uneasy for thewiper 90 to dry up after used. As a result, bacteria tend to culture inthe cleaning member 93.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 4. The panel wiper of the present inventionincludes a wiping member 10 and a holder 20. The wiping member 10includes a baseboard section 11 and a cleaning plate 12 connected undera bottom of the baseboard section 11. The cleaning plate 12 has at leastone acute wiping corner 121 for extending into the respective corners 31of the panel 30 to reciprocally fully wipe and clean off the dusts. Theholder 20 has a bed section. 21 and an annular wall section 22 swellingfrom a circumference of the bed section 21. The annular wall section 22is formed with several receptacles 221 adapted to the profile of thebaseboard section 11 of the wiping member 10. Accordingly, the wipingmember 10 can be seated in the receptacles 221 and stably rested on thebed section 21. Multiple supporting stands 23 are arranged under abottom of the bed section 21. In addition, the bed section 21 is formedwith multiple vents 211. Accordingly, the cleaning plate 12 of thewiping member 10 can contact with external air to speed the drying ofthe cleaning plate 12.

Referring to FIG. 3, the wiping member 10 further has a knob section 112protruding from an upper side of the baseboard section 11. The knobsection 112 has a lower narrower neck portion 112 a and an upperenlarged head section 112 b obliquely upward extending from the necksection 112 a. The knob section 112 is such designed as to meet theconfiguration of human hand, whereby a user can comfortably hold thewiping member 10 with one hand to wipe the panel of a liquid crystaldisplay.

The baseboard section 11 of the wiping member 10 has at least one acutecorner 11 a corresponding to the acute wiping corner 121 of the cleaningplate 12, whereby the acute corner 11 a can extend into the respectivecorners 31 of the panel 30 along with the acute wiping corner 121 of thecleaning plate 12 for reciprocally wiping the corners 31. The baseboardsection 11 and the cleaning plate 12 can be triangular or otherwiseshaped. This is not limited.

When wiping a panel, a user can first spray a cleaning liquid onto thepanel and then take up the wiping member 10 from the holder 20. Then theuser can wipe the panel 30 with the cleaning plate 12 of the wipingmember 10, which has a considerably large area. Moreover, the acutewiping corner 121 of the cleaning plate 12 can extend into the corner 31of the panel 30 to fully clean up the panel. After wiping the panel 30,the wiping member 10 is rested on the holder 20. The bed section 21 ofthe holder 20 is elevated by the supporting stands 23 so that the holder20 is suspended. Accordingly, after wiping the panel 30, the cleaningliquid of the wetted cleaning plate 12 can evaporate and escape throughthe vents 211 of the bed section 21. Also, the external air can gothrough the vents 211 into the cleaning plate 12 of the wiping member 10to quickly dry the cleaning plate 12. Accordingly, the wiping member 10can be stored without cultivation of bacteria.

According to the above arrangement, the panel wiper of the presentinvention has the following advantages:

1. The acute wiping corner 121 of the cleaning plate 12 of the wipingmember 10 can freely extend into the innermost corners 31 of the panel30 to effectively clean off the dusts and dirt accumulating in thecorners 31.

2. The wiping member 10 can be rested on the holder 20 and well storedafter used.

3. The holder 20 is formed with vents 211 for speeding drying of thecleaning plate 12 to avoid cultivation of bacteria.
